Technical website audit before acquisition or provider change
A website can look fine from the outside, but takeover often reveals missing documentation, access, backups or dependency control.
What to check before takeover
A technical audit shows whether a project can be handed over cleanly. For a Drupal site, there is more to review than public HTML. A good starting point is checking dependencies and upgrade path according to Drupal update principles.
Check:
- whether code is in Git and history is understandable;
- whether Composer dependencies are clean;
- whether administrator, server and domain access exists;
- whether backups can be restored;
- whether custom code is documented;
- which security or WCAG risks need quick attention.
Why an audit saves money
If takeover starts without review, the first month often goes into access problems and hidden defects. An audit makes the work plan realistic.
WebPro handles this through audit and testing. Once the state is clear, the project can continue with Drupal maintenance, migration or development work.
